How Is Odysseus Selfish

Decent Essays
Odysseus has many quality traits. At times he is very self conceited and selfish. When he returned home after being absent from his kingdom for 20 year he disguised himself. Most people in his circumstances would have rushed home to see his wife and kid whose childhood he missed. Instead he made a plan to spy on his wife to make sure she was loyal, which she had been, and he had not. He would have killed his wife for not being loyal, meanwhile he was quite the opposite. All she did was sit around and mope, while large quantities of men tried to seduce, but she stayed faithful. He missed a lot of many things while he was away, the suitors took over his house, he missed his kid grow up, his mother died, and his father wishes he were dead.

    Odysseus says, “’I wanted to see [the Cyclops] and claim the stranger’s gift… So we lit a fire and made our thank-offering, and helped ourselves to as many cheeses as we wanted to eat; then we sat inside till he should come back with his flocks’” (111). Odysseus is impulsive and does not think before he acts. He is very selfish and only wants to see what glory the Cyclops gives him. He expects everyone to bow down to him, let alone know who he is, contrasting Odysseus when he fights the suitors at the end of the story and receives glory from his city. When Polyphemus, the Cyclops who happens to be Poseidon’s son, returns home, he traps Odysseus and his crew in his cave.…

His appearance is that of a dirty beggar, and he appears homeless and rough. While this was also true when he appeared at the island of the Phaeacians, he had Athena’s spell and dream to make his arrival more convincing.

    Throughout his journey, Odysseus relies on himself and his tricks for his own glory and fame. He announces himself in flattering ways, full of pride and self worth saying: “I am Odysseus, son of Laertes, known before all men / for the study of crafty things, and my fame goes up to the heavens” (9.19-20). The pride in his voice when he announces himself to Alkinoos, king of the Phaiakians, saturates every word he speaks. He rashly brags of his fame and reputation of being devious. When Odysseus tricked Polyphemus with lofty words into drinking the divine wine so that he can put out the eye of the cyclops and escape, he visibly delights in his own deviousness, saying “the heart within me laughed over how my … perfect planning had fooled him”(9.413-14).…
